Section 10-3-550 - Liquidation of property of foreign or alien insurers found in this state(1) If no domiciliary receiver has been appointed, the commissioner may apply to the district court in and for the city and county of Denver by verified petition for an order directing the commissioner to liquidate the assets found in this state of a foreign insurer or an alien insurer not domiciled in this state, on any of the grounds specified in section 10-3-511 or 10-3-516 or any of the grounds specified in section 10-3-549(1)(b) to (1)(d).(2) When an order is sought under subsection (1) of this section, the court shall cause the insurer to be given such notice and time to respond thereto as is reasonable under the circumstances.(3) If it appears to the court that the best interests of creditors, policyholders, and the public so require, the court may issue an order to liquidate in whatever terms it deems appropriate. The filing or recording of the order with the clerk of the said court or with the recorder of deeds of the county in which the principal business of the company is located or the county in which its principal office or place of business is located shall impart the same notice as would be imparted by a deed, bill of sale, or other evidence of title duly filed or recorded with such recorder of deeds.(4) If a domiciliary liquidator is appointed in a reciprocal state while a liquidation is proceeding under this section, the liquidator under this section shall thereafter act as ancillary receiver under section 10-3-552. If a domiciliary liquidator is appointed in a nonreciprocal state while a liquidation is proceeding under this section, the liquidator under this section may petition the court for permission to act as ancillary receiver under section 10-3-552.(5) On the same grounds as are specified in subsection (1) of this section, the commissioner may petition any appropriate federal district court to be appointed receiver to liquidate that portion of the insurer's assets and business over which the court will exercise jurisdiction, or over any lesser part thereof that the commissioner deems desirable for the protection of the policyholders and creditors in this state.(6) The court may order the commissioner, when the commissioner has liquidated the assets of a foreign or alien insurer under this section, to pay claims of residents of this state against the insurer under such rules governing the liquidation of insurers under this part 5 as are otherwise compatible with the provisions of this section.L. 92: Entire part R&RE, p. 1479, § 14, effective July 1.
